Sunlight - Jack and the Beanstalk - hidden acrostic - imagine x 3
Today's #afewwordsaday #KAFWAD submission
Why not join me? Today's prompts are below. Prompts for the rest of the week are in a separate post just below.
7th September 2015
The version of Jack and the Beanstalk I used as a format is my family's favourite. It's a picture boo by Sally Grindley and Peter Utton, called 'Shhh!' Find it on Amazon here.
My sentence doesn't quite follow the format, but I think it is used effectively.
Prompts | |
FMS Photo a day | Sunlight |
Text type | Hidden acrostic |
Sentence type | Imagine x 3 |
Story | Jack and the beanstalk |
Hidden acrostic | Focus word has one letter in each line but not first or last ā so try 2nd letter, or 1st letter of second line |
Imagine x 3 | Adds interest, builds atmosphere. Describe 3 parts of something, separated by commas. Use a colon after the third one and finish with a linked clause. Imagine a place where the sun always shines, where wars never happen, where no-one ever dies: in the Andromeda 5 system there is such a planet. |
Lazy Jack was supposed to sell his cow but came home with 5 beans instead. He much preferred sitting in the sunlight to trudging the long way to market.
Shhh! Jack, you are about to enter a
Giantās Abominable castle.
Hey ā Come inside! Imagine
The Kitchen (where heāll cook you if he finds you!);
The Attic (where I hope he is asleep);
The Nooks and crannies (which youāll need to hide in if you wake him).
Shh! Donāt make a sound.
Look ā Thereās the giantās pet mouse.
If He wakes, heāll run and tell the Giant.
His Ears are twitching! And thereās the giantās cat.
Shhh! Be quiet. Letās go past very quickly.
Whoops! Eeek! Jack you made the floorboard squeak! Is the
Cat Awake?
Heās Not?
Good! Shhh!
Look! Thereās the giant.
Jack! Almost there. I dare you to say,
āBoo!ā Listen to that snore! Oh, it's stopped...
Quicky Koalas, heās coming! Run!
